Drawn: CM West Devon Study Zones Checked FR Figure 1 Rev A Retail and Leisure Study Final report Appendix C Summary of adopted development plan C.1 South Hams Development Plan C.1.1 The adopted retail and town centre policies for SHDC are set out in the Core Strategy, adopted in 2006. The Development Policies Document (DPD) adopted July 2010, supports the Core Strategy through more detailed policy guidance. The Site Allocations DPDs (SA), adopted in 2011 identify development sites in SHDC town centres and other retail allocations. Core Strategy C.1.2 The Core Strategy sets out the Councils ‘Strategic Approach’ to development. It states that new development should be focused in the district’s existing larger centres and the new community at Sherford as the most sustainable locations. The Sherford new community is located on the boundary of Plymouth and SHDC. The Core Strategy identifies that the development will deliver 4,000 new homes of which 450 new homes will be located in SHDC with the majority of new homes located in Plymouth. Sherford will contain a full range of community services, including retail and leisure uses, to meet the needs of new residents as well as a limited catchment area beyond the site. C.1.3 The Core Strategy also recognises that the development needs of rural communities must also be met in order to meet sustainability objectives. The strategic objectives of the Core Strategy vision of relevance to this study include the following: S07 – Regenerate the district’s towns, villages and their hinterlands, using previously developed land and existing buildings where appropriate; SO8 – Provide for business growth and development, supporting indigenous growth, growth sectors, and providing year round, sustainable, well-paid employment; S09 – Secure high quality, locally distinctive sustainable economic development, including tourism; and SO16 – Support the role of market towns, especially town centres, and other local centres. C.1.4 Policy CS1 identifies the settlement hierarchy as set out in Figure 11:1 below. The policy requires retail, leisure and entertainment development to be focused in the ‘area centres’ as well as Modbury and Salcombe. Figure 11:1 SHDC settlement hierarchy Position in hierarchy Settlements Dartmouth, Ivybridge, Kingsbridge, Totnes and Sherford new Area centres community Chillington, Stokenham, Modbury, Salcombe, Woolwell, Local centres Yealmpton Retail and Leisure Study Final report Development Policies Development Plan Document (DPD) 11.1.1 The adopted development management policies for SHDC are set out in the DPD which supports the Core Strategy spatial strategy and strategic policies in the district up until 2016. Each policy sets out what is required of development proposals in SHDC, and includes policies relevant to specific spatial locations. The policies relevant to this report are summarised below: Policy DP12 sets out guidance for the development of new tourism and leisure facilities. The policy requires facilities to be located in sustainable, accessible locations that do not undermine the vitality or viability of nearby settlements. Policy DP15 states that in the Countryside, retail development will be strictly controlled and small farm shops will only be permitted where at least 75% of the goods sold are produced on the farm. Site Allocations Development Plan Documents (SA) 11.1.2 The SA’s allocate sites for development in the district’s four local centres; Ivybridge, Totnes, Kingsbridge and Dartmouth. Relevant site allocations and their current status are summarised below. Ivybridge Site Allocations DPD 11.1.3 Proposal I1 (East of Ivybridge) – identified for mixed use development on the edge of Ivybridge, including a local neighbourhood centre providing small scale daily shopping and community needs. 11.1.4 Proposal I2 (Ivybridge Central Area) – identified for mixed use regeneration. The site encompasses an area on both sides of the River Erme and includes part of Fore Street, Glanville’s Mill shopping centre, a supermarket, South Dartmoor Leisure Centre and Leonards Road Car Park. Totnes Site Allocations DPD 11.1.5 Proposal T3 (Totnes Central Area) – identified for mixed use development, including, at the Market Square and Civic Hall, a new civic area to incorporate the town’s markets, as well as retail, commercial and office uses. Dartmouth Site Allocations DPD 11.1.6 Proposal D1 (Townstal west of Dartmouth) – identified for mixed use development to the west of Dartmouth to incorporate a new community hub, establish a new gateway to the town, including a new local centre providing retail, health and community facilities Kingsbridge Site Allocations DPD 11.1.7 Proposal K2 (The Quayside) – identified for mixed use regeneration to incorporate commercial, residential and community uses. Retail and Leisure Study Final report C.2 West Devon adopted Development Plan 11.1.8 The adopted retail and town centre policies for WDBC are set in the Core Strategy, adopted in 2011 and 2005 Local Plan Review (Local Plan) (adopted March 2005), with Core Strategy Amendments (CSA) (April 2011). Core Strategy 11.1.9 Chapter 6 of the Core Strategy sets out the need for vibrant town and village centres and defines the borough-wide retail hierarchy as summarised in the table below. Figure 11:2 WDBC Hams settlement hierarchy Position in hierarchy Centre Town centres Okehampton and Tavistock Local centres Hatherleigh, North Tawton, Bere Alston and Lifton C.2.1 Strategic Policy 5 (Spatial Strategy) directs new development to the main towns of Okehampton and Tavistock. Limited development in the local centres and villages may be permitted where it is demonstrated that it will contribute to wider sustainability benefits for the area. C.2.2 Chapter 6 ‘Social Inclusion and Access to Services’ provides an overview of the Councils retail evidence base contained within the borough-wide Retail Study prepared by consultants Roger Tym and Partners (RTP) in 2005. C.2.3 The 2005 Retail Study found that there was significant leakage of convenience and comparison expenditure to centres outside of WDBC; only 58% of convenience expenditure was retained in the borough and 22% of comparison trade was retained by Okehampton and Tavistock together. Large supermarkets at Roborough, Launceston and Exeter drew a significant amount of convenience trade from the borough. The recommendations focused on improving the town centre’s existing shopping offer and environment. C.2.4 Paragraph 6.8 provides an overview of the Councils retail strategy which aims to direct new retail development to Okehampton and Tavistock. However, the Council recognise that the historic street layout of Tavistock acts as a significant constraint on development and there are limited opportunities for new retail development in the town. C.2.5 Paragraph 12 sets out the Councils policy position on out of centre development. It states that proposals for out-of-centre retail development will be assessed against relevant national planning policy guidance which is now contained in the NPPF and the NPPG. C.2.6 Strategic Policy 12 (Retailing) encourages retail development where it reinforces the role of the town centre and enhances the attractiveness, viability and safety of the town. It states that proposals for out-of-centre retailing will only be supported where the sequential approach justifies the proposal and there is no unacceptable impact on the town centre. Retail and Leisure Study Final report C.2.7 Strategic Policy 13 (Community Services and Facilities) states that proposals to increase and enhance open space, recreation, leisure, cultural, health and education facilities will be supported where they will contribute to the wellbeing of a community and improve accessibility to services. It requires new facilities or open space provision to be as well related as possible to the settlement, and for existing services and community facilities to be retained where there is a continuing need. C.2.8 Strategic Policy 22 (Okehampton) informs the strategic allocation at ‘Land to the east of Okehampton’ for a mixed use urban extension, including approximately 900 dwellings and 10ha of employment land. It states that development should include the provision of neighbourhood retailing and other facilities to meet the needs of the new community, subject to the nature and scale of development. C.2.9 Strategic Policy 23 (Tavistock) informs the strategic allocation at ‘Land to the south and west of Tavistock’. The site is allocated for a mixed use urban extension including approximately 750 dwellings and 13ha of employment land. Policy 23 further states that development of this allocated site should include the provision of neighbourhood retailing and other facilities to meet the needs of the new community, subject to the nature and scale of development.

  • CKW Report 9 Torcross to Kingswear
    www.gov.uk/englandcoastpath England Coast Path Stretch: Cremyll to Kingswear Report CKW 9: Torcross to Kingswear Part 9.1: Introduction Start Point: Torcross (Grid reference SX 8233 4200) End Point: Kingswear (Grid reference SX 8785 5108) Relevant Maps: CKW 9a to CKW 9h 9.1.1 This is one of a series of linked but legally separate reports published by Natural England under section 51 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949, which make proposals to the Secretary of State for improved public access along and to this stretch of coast between Torcross and Kingswear. 9.1.2 This report covers length CKW 9 of the stretch, which is the coast between Torcross Point and the Dart Estuary at Kingswear. It makes free-standing statutory proposals for this part of the stretch, and seeks approval for them by the Secretary of State in their own right under section 52 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. 9.1.3 The report explains how we propose to implement the England Coast Path (“the trail”) on this part of the stretch, and details the likely consequences in terms of the wider ‘Coastal Margin’ that will be created if our proposals are approved by the Secretary of State. Our report also sets out: any proposals we think are necessary for restricting or excluding coastal access rights to address particular issues, in line with the powers in the legislation; and any proposed powers for the trail to be capable of being relocated on particular sections (“roll- back”), if this proves necessary in the future because of coastal change.

  • The Haldon Team
    THE HALDON TEAM Vacancy for Team Rector Growing in prayer Making new disciples The Archdeacon’s Foreword Serving the people of Devon with joy The Ven. Andrew Beane, Archdeacon of Exeter e. [email protected] t. 01392 425577 Thank You Thank you for your interest in the role of Team Rector of the Haldon Mission Community. This post presents an excellent opportunity to work with a mixed group of parishes centered on the seaside town of Teignmouth and its two ancient parishes, but reaching out to the rural parishes in the local area. We would hope that the right candidate will bring new experience, energy and innovation to a Mission Community open to new ideas. Our Diocesan Vision We seek to be people who together are: Growing in Prayer Prayer is conversation with God and is part of a healthy Christian life. Prayer is a life-giving activity that opens up deep places within us to God’s transforming grace. It is essential if we are to become the people and the Church God calls us to be. Making new disciples As the Christian story is less and less known, we must find new ways of telling the story, of explaining the faith and giving a reason for the hope that is in us. With Jesus Christ as our companion and guide, we can travel through life differently. Serving the people of Devon with joy As followers of Jesus Christ, we want to make a difference in the world and make God’s love and justice known.
